Kerry v Donegal All Ireland football final 2014 - Mod warning Post #598

Sweet Rose

I remember posting here in 2012 and the message hasn't changed. Jim McGuinness has too many tricks up his sleeve, the man is a genius and his tactics will win this for us. He is a God and our Saint. Tír Chonaill Abú

I'm just heading off to bed, long drive up from the Kingdom in the morning, I hope we can do it tomorrow and if everything goes right on the day we will. Ciarrai Abu.

Its a long walk up, but they have lifts, ask the stewards and they'll activate the lifts which are normally closed off. Me and my friend last year who was in crutches went up this way.

Great view, in middle of the pitch. What row? Upper tier goes A-Z.

Yer on the 21 on the Davin end, it really depends how far back you are with regards to the view. It's a far slog up to the attic, but there's a ramp as opposed to steps which takes the real pain out of the walk. Enjoy the match !

'Twas thus I lived, skin to skin with the earth,
Elbowed by the hills, drenched by the billows,
Watching the wild geese making black wedges,
By Skelligs far west and Annascaul of the willows.
Their voices came on every little wind,
Whispering across the half-door of the mind,
For always I am Kerry...

C'MON THE ****ING KINGDOM!

That's ironic, I'm frustrated by Grainne.

Kerrydude1981

Would love to ask Tomas about the conversations they would have have in the hotel room while watching Up For The Match

Grainne was surely discussed followed by what does Des be going on about half the time??

Himself, O Muirheartaigh & Jim Magee should really get together and make a 3 hour dvd. I'd definitely buy it

Be like that sketch they used do on the Gerry Ryan Show with the three old men

"What are they talking about"

One fella would be on about Ghost trains and eating pigs head,another fella would be on about a Rabbite chasing a Fox around Croke Park and the last lad would be rolling off the names of the Italian soccer team of the 1990 world cup in only the way he could do it.

Never understood why they called it the ghost train when twas full of mad Kerrymen!

They were called ghost trains long a go as they left at 2 or 3am Sunday morning from the rural branch lines heading to Dublin, back then it was all train transport and there would have been dozens of charter trains running up from Kerry. Most people were asleep going up and coming down also, hence the ghost train moniker. There wasn't such an alcohol problem back then as they couldn't afford it. Tea in a glass bottle wrapped in a sock with ham sandwiches was the order of the day back in the early 20th century.

Best of luck to our Minor and Senior teams tomorrow and hopefully come Monday evening we will have both cups down here in the Kingdom,

Ciarrai Abu.

Well lads & lassies the time for talking is nearly over, the twists & turns of 70 minutes should decide it all. The best of luck to Donegal, you have given us 4 years to be proud of & win or lose tomorrow you have made history. Safe journey to all supporters travelling, take it easy arrive alive & lets hope the match is remembered for all the right reasons, Yup Donegal.

I'm like a wain at Christmas lads.
Sure isn't just great. Days like this make me misty eyed, staring off into the middle distance, proud of this rock we call home. No matter who wins today its a victory for Eire etc etc.



PS **** Kerry.

Tír Chonaill abu lads. YEOOO

What a beautiful day hopefully a great game all the signs say it will be. I'm leaning towards Kerry. Best of luck to both teams and supporters

Poor_old_gill

Might be a case of the heart ruling the head but Kerry to win by 4.
Kerry senior and minor @ -1 is my bet for the day

Good luck to all supporters today. Can Kerry and Donegal fans agree on one thing - the average IQ in Dublin has gone way up in the last 24 hours!

This is not a request for a live stream.

I am not looking for a link to watch the game online in the UK.

So if anyone knows of one, do not feel the need to PM me.

I know of plenty but I'm not going to tell you.

No proper "Gael" should be out of the country on All Ireland final day.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Anyone know where I can watch it online in the UK? GAA Go doesn't seem to available here.

Its not for me Tod.

I'm heading down the pub here in Galway to watch it with my fellow 'Proper Gaels' and a few strays.

A friend of mine is on a train from Manchester to London during the game and crying out for a link.

I think kerry will edge it 😁

A draw.

2-13 - 3-10.

dirkmeister

Ciaran Whelan just put Joe Brolly back in his box there.

Whelan said everyone got caught up in the Dublin hype, Brolly says "I didn't" and Whelan replies "hang on there a second, you described them as a "perfect storm"".

Brolly left speechless...classic.

I simply couldn't see there being 5 goals today, I'm imagine max 2.

We have a meeting if blanket defended in a sense. Kerry won't leave the open spaces that Dublin did.

I'll go for DL 1-12 KY 0-13

Very hard to call... Donegal are justifiable favourites after the way they disposed of Dublin. And I'm not sure that Kerry will stop them getting a couple of goals.

But Kerry's inside forward line is top class... Donaghy is in great form, and he's hard to neutralise. With O'Donoghue & Geaney feeding off him. And if Moran and Buckley can knock over long-range points, they have that option too.
